Lupe Fiasco - All Black Everything Lyrics

Sometimes you just gotta. . . GO
[Chorus]
You will never know, what you could ever be,
If you never try, you will never see
Stayed in Africa we ain't never leave
So there weren't no slaves in our history
Weren't no slave ships, wasn't no misery,
call me crazy, or is it hate?
See I fell asleep and I had a dream,
itwas all black, Everything

Uh, and we ain't get exploited it
White man ain't fear it so he did not destroy it
we ain't work for free see they had to employ it
built it up together so we equally appointed

first 400 years see we actually enjoyed it
constitution written by W.E.B DuBois
Wasn't no Reconstruction Civil War got avoided
Little Black Sambo grows up to be a lawyer

Extra Extra on the newsstands
Black Woman voted head of Ku Klux Klan
Malcolm Little dies as an old man,
Martin Luther King read the eulogy for him

followed by Bill O'Reilly who read from the Koran
President Bush sends condolences from Iran
where Fox News reports live
that Ahmadinejad wins the Mandela Peace Prize

[Chorus]

uh, and it ain't no projects
keeping it real is not an understood concept
yeah, complexion's not a contest
cause racism has no context

Hip Hop ain't got a section called conscious
everybody rappin' like crack never happened
Crips never occurred, no Bloods to attack then
matter of fact, no hood to attack in

Somalia's a great place to relax in
Fred Astaire was the first to do a back spin
the Rat Pack was a cool group of black men
that inspired five white guys called the Jacksons

Eminem fitted in, but then again
he inspired the black rapper trying to mimic him
and that's what really rose up out of Michigan,
the sign of a white rapper by the name of 50 Cent

[Chorus]

uh, and I know it's just a fantasy
I cordially invite you to ask why can't it be?
now we can't do nothing 'bout the past,
but we can do something 'bout the future that we have
we can make it fast or we can make it last
Every woman Queen and every man a King
and when those color lines come we can't see between,
we just close our eyes 'til it's all black, everything

[Chorus]

all black everything, yeah
all black everything, yeah
all black everything, all black everything...
